How Does A Heat Pump Work?
A heat pump also provides easy heating and cooling operation with more precise temperature control (when paired with an appropriate HVAC system). A heat pump is the perfect addition to a HVAC system that contains an oil, propane, or electric heater. These customers are the ones that benefit the most from a heat pump product.
AirZone HVAC Services installs virtually any type of heat pump system on the market. This includes geothermal, water source, condo packs and air source. Our three most popular heat pump options for Ottawa homeowners are all of the air source variety, these units move heat from the outdoors to the indoor setting (even at temperatures of -25 and colder)!
Heat Pump FAQ
Do Heat Pumps Work in Ottawa Ontario?
Heat Pumps do work well in Ottawa Ontario but there needs to be many considerations when your HVAC professional designs your system. Even the best cold climate heat pumps require some sort of back up heat for the frigid temperatures of mid winter. That being said, the majority of the year, a high heat pump is an excellent choice to acclimate your home.
Can A Heat Pump Heat My Whole House?
Central heat pumps can heat your whole home for the majority of the year. Ductless heat pumps can achieve the same goal if designed properly. There are so many factors in a properly designed heat pump system that it is crucial to work with a professional.
Do Heat Pumps Replace My Furnace?
Contrary to popular belief, a heat pump is actually a replacement for your air conditioner. For home owners that are looking to remove their gas furnace, utilizing a heat pump can aid in this mission. Many clients opt to remove the furnace and air conditioner and replace it with a heat pump and indoor air handler. We also have many homeowners who prefer to add a heat pump to their existing system(replacing the air conditioner) and utilize the gas furnace as backup heat.
Is A Heat Pump Better Than An Air Conditioner?
In many ways a heat pump is better than an air conditioner. The heat pumps we install in Ottawa tend to be fairly high end, due to our extreme weather. In turn you receive an ultra efficient unit that is capable of cooling your home using much less energy than a typical air conditioner. Furthermore, when you opt for a heat pump you get amazing heating capabilities without burning fossil fuels.
Are Heat Pumps Noisy?
The heat pumps of yesteryear were known for their high sound levels. Many of the new modern units are incredibly quiet! There are varying levels in terms of quality when looking at heat pumps. The models that we install and offer in Ottawa are all very high end options. These units run incredibly quiet in cooling mode, often half the sound levels of standard ACs. In heating mode, they run a little bit louder but are still running around the same sound levels of a typical air conditioner.
Do Heat Pumps Get Rebates?
Rebates are extremely common for heat pumps due to their increased efficiency and environmental impact. These rebates range from $1000 up to $12,000! The rebate landscape can be quite confusing… we make the process simple with our FREE no obligation rebate consultation!
Are Heat Pumps Worth It In Ontario?
Heat pumps are worth the increased cost over air conditioners for numerous reasons. Especially if you heat your house with propane, oil or electricity! Supplementing your home heating with an ultra efficient heat pump is a great idea. Furthermore, these units are generally 1.5-2.0X more efficient in cooling mode than a standard air conditioner. Finally, they are environmentally friendly and help you reduce your carbon footprint. At AirZone HVAC we believe in environmentally sustainable technology and building a better future for our community.
Are Heat Pumps More Expensive To Run Than A Furnace?
A heat pump is a very cost effective way to heat your home. Depending on what your fuel prices are (natural gas, oil or propane) a heat pump can be significantly cheaper to run. In Ottawa we have found that natural gas customers tend to see massive savings in the spring, summer and fall. In the depths of the winter when temperatures reach -20 to -30, natural gas still tends to be slightly cheaper. For this reason, many clients opt for a hybrid system that utilizes a heat pump backed up by a natural gas furnace.
Do I Need Backup Heat For My Heat Pump?
In Ottawa, the majority of houses require some sort of back up heat. There are many reasons for this and at AirZone we generally recommend at least some sort of backup. Heat pumps tend to defrost in the winter and this can cause comfort issues if there is not a backup heater. Furthermore, the majority of existing homes simply do not have the infrastructure (whether it is ductwork or electrical) to support a heat pump capable of heating for the entire winter season. Finally, insurance companies often decline to insure a home that does not have a backup to the heat pump.
